My Grandma used to say, "it's raining like pouring piss out of a boot." Meaning, it's raining hard. That's what it's doing here now and it just started about 30 mins ago. Before that, it was a beautiful warm sunny day that begged the windows to open.
We weren't allowed to call our Granny anything that sounded like Grandma. We were to call her Mommy or MommyNay. Her youngest daughter, (my aunt) Janice is the same way. I don't understand it. I'd be proud to be a grandmother, as long as it doesn't happen before I am at least 50. : 0)
A while back in the journal I deleted, I had written about dreaming of fish and that MommyNay always said, " SOMEONE'S GONNA HAVE A BABY" if you dream of fish. I had told Robert about the dream and about the pregnancy theory. (sp) He scoffed and made fun of it. Well, about two, maybe three weeks later Janice called and said Dewayne (her son) and Tonya were gonna have a baby.
Robert still laughs and say's "ya'll are silly."

Men! They don't get strong women sometimes. I'm snatching graphics like crazy in this entry. Is that ok? lol. Lala, I think of you every day. I've heard the expression about hard rain all my life, and superstitions, well, I'm still working on trying to avoid the beliefs that I grew up with. lol I never tell an intelligent person to their face outloud that don't believe like I do, that they just broke some unspoken rule. Their bad!
